Dugbe, Liberia Update

Hummingbird Resources plc (AIM: HUM) confirms that Pasofino Gold Limited ("Pasofino") has entered a non-brokered private placement of its common shares for gross proceeds of up to US$5.5 million, of which approximately US$4.5 million has been subscribed for by ESAN, a leading Turkish mining company.

The funding provides sufficient capital for Pasofino to complete the Feasibility Study ("FS") on the Dugbe Gold Project ("Dugbe") in Liberia, which is on track to be delivered in Q2 2022. For the full Pasofino release, please follow the link here.

This fund raise follows the Mineral Resource Estimate ("MRE") update announced by Pasofino on 22 November 2021 on Dugbe, which confirmed NI 43-101 compliant Measured and Indicated gold resources of 3.4 million ounces of gold (see link here).

Pasofino has an earn-in agreement for a 49% stake in the Project, with Hummingbird maintaining a controlling interest of 51%. For further details on the option and earn-in agreement with Pasofino, please refer to the Company's RNS dated 4 June 2020.

Dan Betts, CEO of Hummingbird Resources plc, commented:

"Pasofino's successful capital raise enables them to complete the DFS work on the Dugbe Project and finish their earn in conditions as per our JV agreement. We are particularly encouraged by the material uplift in the Measured and Indicated Resources recently announced by Pasofino, which should pave the way for a robust DFS showcasing solid project economics. Also of particular interest is the material investment by Turkish mining group ESAN who are known to us and who I am sure will add significant value to the Project as it gathers momentum from here."
